Yellow cupcakes from The Perfect Cake: Your Ultimate Guide to Foolproof Classic, Unique, and Modern Cakes for Any Occasion (page 55) by America's Test Kitchen Editors

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Not mind blowing but I do feel it’s a solid recipe. Very quick and easy to whip up which makes it great for a late night dessert. The vanilla doesn’t shine through as much so I made another batch and added more vanilla extract which made it better for me. This was soft and moist but because it was a more dense cupcake, it did take away from the moistness of it. To combat this, I would add an extra tablespoon of whatever you use to add moisture in your cakes.

    Very quick to put together and turned out beautifully. I put in 2 drops of yellow food colouring and iced with Stella Parks cream cheese frosting and sprinkles.
